タックスファイルナンバー
A Tax File Number, which is commonly called a TFN, is a unique number that has been created by the Australian Taxation Office. It is used to manage your tax and superannuation records. If you have been given a Working Holiday visa, you can apply for a TFN online through the ATO website. The application, which takes about ten minutes, is free. Your TFN will be sent to your Australian address by post within 28 days. It is very important that you get a TFN before you start working. If a TFN has not been provided to your employer, you will be taxed at the highest rate, which is currently 45 percent. Your TFN is a personal number that should never be shared on social media or given to strangers.

Q: TFNを雇用主に提出しないと、最高何パーセントの税率で課税されますか?
I have recently applied for my TFN through the ATO website, and I found the process to be straightforward. The online form, which is written in simple English, was easy to follow. I was asked for my passport details, visa information, and the Australian address where the TFN would be sent. The whole application was completed in about 15 minutes. A confirmation number was given at the end, which should be saved for your records. My TFN arrived by post after about three weeks. The only problem that I experienced was that the website was a bit slow during peak hours. I would suggest that you apply early in the morning or late at night. Overall, this is a service that has been well designed for international visitors.
Reviewの内容チェック
Q: レビューによると、TFNが届くまでにどれくらいかかりましたか?
TFNは雇用されて働く人のための番号です。一方、ABN(Australian Business Number)はフリーランスや個人事業主として働く場合に必要です。「Are you employed or self-employed?」と聞かれたら、雇用なら「employed」と答えましょう。
オーストラリアでは雇用主が給料の他に「super」と呼ばれる年金積立金を支払います。帰国時に「Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP)」として申請すれば、積み立てたお金の一部を受け取ることができます。
